@loveisstrange: I do like the city mini, too. But didn't like how small the basket was - do you find that is a pain at all?

@catomd00: Nope. It's bigger than it seems. I can fit quite a lot in there. I honestly am really happy with the City Mini. The carseat adaptor snaps in easy and you don't have to take it off when folding. It's really light (15lbs). It has a HUGE canopy, which is a major plus. Plus it has lots of extras to make it modular (running board, bassinet, pram, etc) and tons of accessories and add-ons. I love the rubbery handle, I find it really comfortable to hold. I really like the central brake system, so you only have to use one brake instead of two. The one-handed fold is great. Plus, if you buy from Buy Buy Baby, you can use a 20% coupon and it's only $200.
I wanted a lightweight stroller with a decent basket, large canopy and was easy to fold/unfold and get in and out of my car. It totally fit the bill. Im going to probably purchase the bassinet for our next baby.

@loveisstrange: Good to know. They do have a 4 wheel one, so it is definitely been on my short list. I feel like the more I look the more confused I get! I need to just pick and stick with it!

The Valco Spark was one I was looking at that has almost everything on your list. The only thing it doesn't have is a built in car seat attachment. http://www.valcobaby.com/products/strollers/model/spark.html

@T-Mom: My 4.5 36 lber loves it! He always asks for it. I think 40 lbs might be okay? Try it and if you hear cracking then it's not. LOL! My kids are 31 and 36 lbs each and, so far, it's been okay. It's just hard to go up and down sidewalks so I just tell my oldest to step off for a second.
Yeah, the Pliko style is very traditional compared to all the new ones these days. I sooo wanted a tandem (City Select) but it's just soooo heavy. Plus, my youngest is 31 lbs and growing fast so there's no need to buy another stroller. We have three already and that's after I got rid of two.

@debbiei8: DH and I love the broadway, it's so cool! I wish it folded with the seat attached.
Moms - how annoying would it be to have a stroller that you have to take the seat off to fold?

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I have seen the Verve. Right now I think we're down to the Phil and Ted Promenade and the Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I already have my eye on the duet for when the next baby comes along!
We are going with the contours bliss this time around. The MB Cosmopolitan drove a bit nicer, but I didn't find it as user friendly as the Bliss, which was super easy for me to use. I'm super excited to get it and start using it!
